Freedom of circulation and usage requires the new gold coins to be treated as any other currency in the market: it must be protected from all taxes and other impediments.

The Swiss gold trade is regulated by laws and even administrative ordinances. But legal protection can only be credible in the long run if it is guaranteed at the highest level: the Swiss Constitution.

The plan is to have a popular initiative introducing in the Constitution the definition and the protection of the new gold coins as a complementary currency alongside the Swiss Franc.
